  • the invention relates to a loading device for an APS film in particular containing film cartridge according to the preamble of claim 1 and a film stage for a photographic copier, in particular for processing APS films according to the preamble of claim 8.
  • APS films Advanced Photographic System
  • Adjustable codings are also provided on the cartridges, based on which It can be determined whether there is an unexposed or a partial one in the cartridges exposed, a fully exposed or an already developed film.
  • minilabs are photographic copiers that work alongside the actual ones Copy part (exposure device, printer) also a development part for the photographic Copy material and possibly also contain a film development part.
  • Minilabs and other photographic copiers are usually equipped with a so-called Equipped with a film feeder that precisely feeds the films to be copied into the Exposure beam path allowed.
  • Minilabs set up for the processing of APS films need due to the above mentioned peculiarities of such films a specially adapted film stage or loading device for APS films.
  • This is usually with a bracket for positioning a single APS film cartridge in a defined orientation and provided with a winding and unwinding mechanism, which the APS film leads out of the cartridge and transferred to the film transport means of the film stage and the film is rewound into the cartridge after copying. Thereupon the cartridge can be removed from the loading device.
  • Minilabs cover an output of up to 100 copy jobs (individual films) per hour from. But even with a smaller output of e.g. 40 copy jobs per hour this means that the operator should insert an APS cartridge approximately every 11 ⁇ 2 minutes and has to remove again. In order to take full advantage of the Minilab's performance, the operator has to be at the minilab practically all the time.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to handle a copier, specifically Minilabs, which are so simplified when processing APS films in particular, that the operator for feeding the film cartridges, especially APS film cartridges takes less time.
  • a charging device is intended by the invention for special APS film cartridges can be improved so that several Cartridges can be fed.
  • Another object of the invention is in the corresponding improvement one for the processing of in particular APS film designed film stage for a photographic copier.
  • the one shown in Fig. 1 as a whole, designed for processing APS film Film stage has a substantially flat base plate 1 and a fastened thereon Cover 2 on.
  • a film guide 3 is formed in the base plate 1, which defines a straight film transport path.
  • In the cover 2 is an exposure window 4, under which the film guide 3 passes and through which when the film stage is inserted in a copier or minilab, the exposure beam path runs.
  • a shaft 5 is formed in the cover 2, which one explained in detail below, essentially tubular storage chamber for APS film cartridges P.
  • FIG. 10 shows the parts relevant to the invention inside the exposure stage.
  • Two transport rollers 11 and 12 can be seen, which are driven by a drive belt 13 are driven by a motor 14 shown in FIG. 10, as well as a Whole with 100 loading device for APS film cartridges.
  • the transport rollers 11 and 12, the drive belt 13 and the motor 14 together Film transport means which one handed over to them by the loading device 100 APS film can be transported back and forth along the film guide 3.
  • the loading device 100 essentially comprises a mounting frame 110, in which has a fixed, tubular storage chamber 120 for several APS film cartridges P, a movable transfer chamber 130 (Fig.3) and a total of 140 designated drive mechanism (Fig.3) for the movement of the transfer chamber and a winding and unwinding drive 150 (Fig.6) for one located in the transfer chamber Cartridge P are installed. Furthermore, there are various sensors in the mounting frame 110 intended for the control of the movement sequences, to which further below is received.
  • the drive mechanism 140 implements those described below Movements by means of various unspecified rods, levers and cams and a drive motor 141 which drives these parts.
  • the tubular storage chamber 120 which is open at both ends, has one at the outer shape of APS film cartridges customized inner cross section and can simultaneously several, in the example shown three, APS film cartridges P coaxially behind or record one above the other in a defined orientation.
  • the transfer chamber 130 is designed analogously on the inside, but can only define a single cartridge P in each case Take orientation in yourself.
  • the transfer chamber 130 can be moved from one in FIG 3 loading position shown in an ejection position shown in Figure 5 in a shown in Figure 4 and moved back and while doing so transport a cartridge P in it into the appropriate positions.
  • the transfer chamber 130 In the loading position, the transfer chamber 130 is substantially coaxial with the storage chamber 120 aligned, in the working position their axis is parallel to the plane the base plate 1 and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the film guide 3.
  • the eject position is located approximately in the middle between the loading and working positions.
  • the transfer chamber 130 forms together with the drive mechanism 140 and the winding and unwinding drive 150 transfer means, which are fully automatic in the Remove the cartridges P located in the storage chamber 120 sequentially from the storage chamber, bring into the working position the film F in the cartridges P partially remove them from the cartridges and hand them over to the film transport means 11-14 and the cartridges P after rewinding the film F into them through the ejection port 6 eject. This will be discussed in more detail below.
  • the operator inserts one or preferably several APS film cartridges P into the Storage chamber 120, with a pivotable latch 142 of the drive mechanism 140 first the bottom cartridge P falls out of the open one below Storage chamber 120 prevented.
  • the transfer chamber 130 is not entirely coaxial aligned to the storage chamber 120, so it is slightly outside the extension the storage chamber 120 (FIG. 6).
  • the film stage is the opening and opening already mentioned, designated as a whole by 150 Unwind drive, which essentially consists of a fixed drive unit 151 and a pivotable bearing unit 152, the latter also from Drive mechanism 140 is driven.
  • the fixed drive unit 151 comprises essentially a motorized rotary drive 153 for the film winding in the Cartridge and an opening pin 154 around that provided in APS film cartridges Open light flap.
  • Such opening and drive mechanisms for APS film cartridges are known per se to the person skilled in the art and therefore do not require any further details Explanation.
  • a light barrier 143 arranged laterally next to the storage chamber 120 signals the presence of a cartridge P in the storage chamber 120 settles the drive mechanism 140 in motion and pivots the latch 142 to the side as well the transfer chamber into the extension of the storage chamber 120 so that a cartridge P due to its weight from the storage chamber 120 down into the transfer chamber 130 falls or slides (Fig. 7).
  • the transfer chamber 130 is then pivoted down into its working position, the latch 142 pivots back into the starting position, so that the cartridges that slip cannot fall out of the storage chamber 120 (Fig.8).
  • the cartridge P located in the transfer chamber 130 is now in the working position coupled to the winding and unwinding drive 150.
  • a light barrier is also located in the bearing unit 152 of the winding and unwinding drive 150 156 provided (Fig. 8), which is the standard on the front of the cartridge P. scans existing codings and thus determines whether there is a developed film in the cartridge. If this is not the case, the following operations and skipped the cartridge as described below ejected.
  • the opening pin 154 actuates the light flap in the cartridge P and opens it. Then the winding and unwinding drive 150 is started and thereby the one in the cartridge P film F is pushed out of the cartridge until it engages comes with the transport roller 11 of the film transport means on the film stage and so this is handed over (Fig. 10). Now the film is taken from the film transportation pulled further from the cartridge P and in the film guide 3 along the film path moved across the film stage. However, the end of the film remains attached to the cartridge or their winding core.
  • the film transport means 11-14 slide the film back into the cartridge P, with the winding and unwinding drive 150 the film is rewound onto the winding core in the cartridge.
  • An ejection motor 131 is arranged on the transfer chamber 130, which over Gears 132 drives a rubber wheel 133 which is on the outer wall of the in the transfer chamber 130 located cartridge P attacks.
  • the ejection motor will now start set and thereby the cartridge P ejected from the transfer chamber 130 (Fig. 12).
  • the cartridge P falls on the base plate 1 in the region of the ejection opening 6 and can be removed from there by the operator.
  • the transfer chamber 130 is then moved back into its loading position (Fig. 6), where you can find the next cartridge P from the pantry takes over, the processes described above being repeated in the same way, until there is no more cartridge in the pantry.
  • the invention is primarily related to the application with APS film or APS film cartridges. But it goes without saying can also be used for any other film type that is used in processing Cartridge remains or rewound into the cartridge after processing becomes.
